As the world's first high-torque speed reducer that can be deployed at the tip of a dexterous fingertip, it utilizes an annular envelope worm gear structure, and is available in20+ degrees of freedomFull direct drive control,±0.015mmMotion accuracy, single joint20kg loadWhole handGrip strength 25kgand other indicators to achieve breakthroughs. This technology not only solves the contradiction between the volume and torque of traditional speed reducers, but also shows disruptive potential in highly sensitive scenarios such as medical surgery and precision assembly.

II. Historical traceability: from da Vinci's manuscripts to modern industry

The mechanical design idea of ring surface envelope can be traced back to the Renaissance. The worm gears depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts do not directly present the concept of "ring surface envelope", but they are useful for the design ofmultitooth gearingThe exploration with the curved surface drive has shown its beginnings. Because the structure is special, subject to the industrial production technology in those years, has not been realized. Until the modern industry, this theory was standardized in the 1990s as a planar secondary envelope ring face worm gear transmission, which forms a high-precision tooth contact through the envelope machining of the plane mother face and the relative motion. Based on this, Tao Shi's team combined miniaturized manufacturing processes to design theExclusive tooth shape, taking this classic structure to new heights.

Structure analysis: the ultimate balance of miniaturization and high torque

The core structure of the ring surface envelope reducer contains two major innovations:

Multi-tooth engagement design:The tooth surface of the worm gear is designed through an exclusive structure.Effective contact area up to 85%The number of teeth that can be enveloped can reach30% of the total number of teeth. The contact area is increased to that of a conventional structure3 times moreThe torque density can be as high as500Nm/kg, far exceeding similar products.

V. Dexterous hand applications: the ultimate form of robotic manipulation

In the dexterous hand scenario, the value of the ring surface envelope reducer was able tofull release::

VI. Disruptive substitution: optimizing paths for Tesla's dexterous hand solution

Compared to Tesla's existing worm gear underdrive solution, Taosi's ring surface envelope technology provides a triple upgrade:

spatial compression

‣ Replacement reduces the thickness of a single finger by 35%, freeing up space in the palm and allowing the integration of more sensors.

Torque Reinforcement

‣ Output torque increase of 200% for the same volume (Tesla's current program fingertip torque ≤ 1N-m), and grip strength jumps from 5kg class to 25kg.

Reliability multiplier

‣ Multi-tooth mesh design spreads contact stresses across multiple tooth surfaces (conventional construction is single-tooth only), resulting in a breakthrough in life from 3,000 hours to 10,000 hours +.
